Derisive diatribes about the state of the nation, nation states and swerving leftward

Lies of mass destruction

Yesterday, I skimmed through Pitt's book (written with help from Scott Ritter) on the Iraqi War. With its clear analysis of the weapons inspections, this is a must-read for anyone hoping to understand the lead-up to the war. This book, along with testimony from other weapons inspectors and scholars, clearly proves that the US administration LIED about the facts on the ground in the run-up to the war.

For analysis of the US attacks in the Middle East, I recommend Stand Down.
